Anyway, this one I have just read is why I'm posting--it gave me the inspiration to write this online, and to do a great many more things. In fact upon first reading this quote I decided that I would try a little experiment. I would try to spend the next few days aware of the quote, or rather of the ideals the quote suggests about who we are and how we chose to live, as I live and move through this life I have had the opportunity to choose.
I will tell you the quote now, but first I want to suggest that when you read it, read it slowly. I once wrote a ten page research paper on only two lines from the stanza of an ancient poem--(not only on the content of the sentences, but also on the meaning of each individual word in the sentence). As you read this quote, try to let each word register, try to slow down and take it all in--maybe even stop on a word before it has any meaning as a whole and just let your mind wander. Then put the words together, then go on.
the quote:
The most beautiful thing one can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this reaction is a stranger--who no longer can pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe--is as good as dead, his eyes are closed.
I will let you guess who said this, you can post ideas in the comments box... don't cheat.
